Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I last posted here compared to usual. I was away for a bit doing other stuff.
So anyway, here's the latest video sub job. This time it's a show that I haven't subbed before, but an extremely popular show in Japan called Mecha Mecha Iketeru! (aka Mecha Ike). It means something like "Super Super Cool" kind of thing and is hosted by the comedy duo 'Ninety-nine' and a bunch of other lesser known comedians. Ninety-nine consists of Okamura Takashi and Yabe Hiroyuki and shot to stardom with this show. To be honest, the show isn't quite what it used to be like back in the 90's when they did a lot of crazy funny stuff. I think it has been toned down a lot now because censorship has become much more strict in Japan nowadays. Also, Okamura who is the life blood of the show was hospitalized last year and has seemed to lost quite a bit of his characteristic hyperactive energy. I'm intending on subtitling some hilarious older episodes eventually so keep an eye out for those.

This one was a requested episode where they have an 'Idol Sports Carnival Not Including AKB48'. You may know that AKB48 are right now the undisputed top idol group in Japan and dominate TV and music. Well this episode features the other moderately popular idols (although no Morning Musume either) battle it out at some challenges. Here's the list of contestants:

Just thought you should know beforehand that Ebisu Muscats are a group with 50% AV stars and 50% gravure idols.
Well anyway, it's a fairly funny episode but you may be annoyed by some of the girls......

MONSTER PARENTS
Monster parents are described as parents who repeatedly make unreasonable demands to their children’s school and prevent it from functioning normally. Like demanding a teacher to be fired because he has a speaks in a different dialect. There's a TV drama about something like that actually...

GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

YABECCHI FC
Yabecchi FC is a soccer show hosted by Yabe Hiroyuki of Ninety-nine. As Yabe hosts this without his comedy partner, Okamura is often teased about this. That's why he was extra angry (said "Shut up!") when the girl mentioned it.

DICK DRUM
You possibly may have used your imagination to understand what this was? Well I'll explain it anyway lol
If a male did that Jamaican dance movement, his .......dick would slap onto both of his thighs and be like a drum.

Not really a good idea to post a picture of actual dick drumming so.....

Heh, I never would've expected this to be subbed. I saw watched this whole thing unsubbed on a forum and loved it. Also, being a Ebisu Muscats fan, I would like to clarify that the group is about 50% AV stars and 50% gravure idols (there's also a rival group called Black Muscats or B.M.S. for short). If you're looking for something to sub about them, I can probably hook you up with an episode of their variety show, "Onedari Muscat SP!!".

I wouldn't call the rest of the cast lesser knowned. Yoiko / Oasis / Kato Koji are pretty famous too. and the shows cast also consists of Models , Gravure idols , Actors And also SAN-CHAN! Not only comedians. I was actually pretty happy that you subbed a mecha ike episode but of all the episodes why an idol sports carnival! :sadface:

Yes it has. thats why i didn't like this idol sports carnival. Since most of these groups already have their own fansubbing groups its better to sub the better mechaike episodes than this idol stuff -.-
